Plot only interaction terms in coefplot

Question

After a regression in Stata, I am trying to plot only the coefficients of the interaction terms.

I was unable to do this using the community-contributed command coefplot.

Here is a reproducible example and my attempted solutions:

sysuse auto, clear
reg price foreign i.turn foreign#i.turn

*this plots all coefficients:
coefplot,

*this drops _cons and foreign but not i.turn
coefplot, drop(i.turn _cons foreign )

*variations with keep also do not work
coefplot, keep(foreign#i.turn )

Is there any other way to to this?

I have cross-posted this question on Statalist.

Answer 1

You just need to specify the interactions:

sysuse auto, clear

reg price foreign i.turn foreign#i.turn, coeflegend noheader

local coefinter 1.foreign#33.turn 1.foreign#34.turn 1.foreign#35.turn ///
                1.foreign#36.turn 1.foreign#37.turn

coefplot, keep(`coefinter')

EDIT:

You can also get all non-zero coefficients as follows:

sysuse auto, clear
reg price foreign i.turn i.foreign#i.turn, coeflegend noheader

matrix A = e(b)
local namecol "`: colnames A'"

tokenize `namecol'

forvalues i = 1 / `=colsof(matrix(A))' {
    local mv = A[1,`i']
    if `mv' != 0 & strmatch("``i''" , "*#*") {
        local coefinter `coefinter' ``i''
    }
}

coefplot, keep(`coefinter')
